THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUARY 1924 CLIFTON 20—PATERSON 0 The Red and Black clad lads of Paterson High were crushed by an overwhelming score for the Maroon’s fifth straight win of the sea- son. Vine Chimenti and Art Argauer got off some splendid gains through the Paterson defense. John Mikulick “found” himself in this fray and played a great defensive and offensive game at right end. Phil De Lorenzo did great work at his regular tackle post. THE NORWOOD GAME Norwood evened up the series with our grid team by defeating the Maroon in a return game at Norwood. Fully six thousand people wit- nessed the interesting inter sectional clash be- tween the two schools, the final score being 14-3. Vine Chimenti picked up a fumble on his five yard line and tore ninety-five yards for a touch- down, in the first period, but the officials did not allow it because of alleged clipping on the part of one of the Clifton men. This action was deplorable, for it took all the fight out of our eleven, and Norwood had things pretty well her own way after they scored a touchdown im- mediately following the penalty. Norwood had scored a second touchdown, and it looked as if the Maroon and Gray would go without a score for the first time since foot- ball has been played at our school, when Vine Chimenti saved the day by booting a forty-five yard drop-kick between the uprights for the three points, which saved Clifton’s record. Vine never did get proper credit for the re- markable kick, and we believe this is the first time that the facts have been made known. Captain “Bud” Dower played a wonderful game for Norwood. He was their main offensive strength, while he was equally as proficient in tackling our red-jerseved lads and returning punts. Besides Chimenti, who played his best game of the season in the Norwood fracas. Art Argauer, Phil De Lorenzo, Ernie Reid, and George Barna showed some of their old form, the others playing an entirely different brand of ball from that shown in previous contests.

INTERCLASS FOOTBALL In order to uncover promising material, Coach Hurlbert started interclass football this season. The Freshman and Juniors formed groups of players, many of whom will surely get positions on next year’s team. The Sopho- mores and Seniors did not have teams this year but will probably turn out strong crews next year. The Freshmen, however, showed the most talent in the gentle game of cripple and be crippled. They defeated the Juniors by the score of G-0, but lost a 13 to 0 game to the second team. The Juniors also dropped a 14 to 0 game to the seconds. Some players who have shown great form are Memoli, Abel, Caverly, Menegus, Scibior, Hall, Ilaage and Poles. W. KUPPER PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT
